Perioperative application of somatostatin analogs for pancreatic surgery-current status in Germany.

Background: The most common major complication after pancreatic resection is the postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Somatostatin analogs can reduce POPF, but the use of somatostatin analogs is still controversial. The aim of this study was to assess treatment algorithms for pancreatic surgery in Germany with a special focus on the application of somatostatin analogs.
